Module I New Opportunities in International Trade generally covers: WTO rules for regional trade agreements (RTAs) and RTA negotiating modalities and techniques; politics of trade negotiations; new opportunities resulting from APEC and major new RTAs including AANZFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership; understanding statistics and other trade information; and how RTAs and mutual recognition agreements affect the movement of people. Module II Practical Aspects of International Trade generally covers: practical preparations for entering export markets; partnership possibilities in international trade; assistance in exporting. Module III: WTO's 'New Issues' generally has a focus on competition policy; foreign direct investment and investment agreements and dispute settlement.

The course is typically delivered through a blended learning approach with teaching materials and online modules provided through the MyUni course page. In this mode, students are expected to complete all online modules prior to the face-to-face sessions.
